The more you talk, the more you get into trouble. It was an unchanging truth.
The two sides that were arguing fiercely all heard Yuan Zhou's words.
"Little brother, you are right. Come and judge. These abalones are obviously farmed. Why do you insist that they are wild?" The man in the suit turned his head and looked at Yuan Zhou eagerly, as if seeking an ally.
"Customer, you should taste the delicacies carefully. What do you think?" Liu Na wouldn't normally talk to customers like this, but now she was pestered by the man in the suit in front of her and now Yuan Zhou added fuel to the fire. Her tone inevitably became harsh.
Yuan Zhou was a little embarrassed to be heard by others behind his back. Yuan Zhou didn't intend to meddle in other people's business. He picked up his phone. Yuan Zhou, who was about to leave, heard Liu Na's words and just frowned.
Seeing that Yuan Zhou didn't intend to intervene, Liu Na breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, Liu Na regretted saying such words just now. No matter what, the person in front of her was still a customer. It was inappropriate to say such words.
However, the man in the suit wouldn't let Yuan Zhou go so easily. It was not easy to find someone who knew as much as him. How could he ignore this matter and not say it out?
"Manager Liu, I am not the only one who said so. The abalones here are not wild." Seeing that Yuan Zhou still walked out indifferently, the man in the suit raised his voice and said loudly, "Everyone, listen to me. The gentleman just said that the abalones here are all farmed, not wild."
Then, the people eating in the restaurant exploded. Those who came here to eat had some assets. Therefore, no one deliberately listened to the dispute here at the beginning. Now, the man in the suit's action made Yuan Zhou the target of public criticism.
"What's the matter? Isn't it advertised as wild?" A woman dressed in rich clothes immediately put down the abalones in her hand and asked with a frown.
Now that someone had spoken, the others also began to talk about it.
"It can't be. This is an old restaurant. I often come here to eat. The quality of the abalones is indisputable." A loyal customer shook his head to express his disbelief.
"It's hard to say. Nowadays, the merchants are all untrustworthy." Someone also doubted.
"Did that young man say it? Let's ask him, "someone suggested when he saw Yuan Zhou standing in the middle with a serious expression.
"That's right, ask him." More people agreed.
"Young man, how do you know that these abalones are farmed? Where did you get the information?" People often followed blindly. This time, Yuan Zhou began to be besieged by all kinds of questions from other customers.
The man in the suit who had caused such a phenomenon was satisfied.
Liu Na, who was standing to the side, was completely enraged. She glared at the man in the suit and hurried to Yuan Zhou's side in her high heels. She squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't worry, everyone. We have been here for decades. The quality has always been guaranteed. It was just a prank."
As he spoke, he signaled with his eyes to Yuan Zhou to cooperate. However, Yuan Zhou just shrugged his shoulders and did not cooperate. After all, it was a fact that the abalones were farmed.
"This gentleman just wanted to make everyone laugh. How could our abalones be farmed, right?" Liu Na felt that in this kind of situation, people would usually choose to keep the peace. Wasn't that what Yuan Zhou did just now?
"No, I did say that. And it's the truth." Yuan Zhou was disgusted with the manager who always used him as a shield to smooth things over. Therefore, he simply said such words according to his heart and the requirements of the system.
That's right. The system released another mission just now.
The system displayed, "As a candidate for the Master Chef, how can you allow others to doubt your tongue? Go, young man. Show them the strength of a candidate for the Master Chef."

Actually, even if the system didn't release this mission, Yuan Zhou would also counterattack. Using him as a shield, he should know that the shield also had a temper. Moreover, this matter had nothing to do with him.
Then, the customers in the restaurant went into an uproar.
"Is what this young man said true?" A middle-aged man stood up and asked with a serious tone.
"It's not like that. Sir, if you say so, our restaurant can sue you for intentional slander. Do you understand?" Liu Na took a deep breath and said sternly.
Now, the matter couldn't be controlled by Liu Na as a manager. While she refuted, she asked the dumbfounded waiter beside her to inform Manager Gou to come over.
"Of course I can take responsibility for what I said. I just hope that Manager Liu can also take responsibility for the words of your restaurant." Yuan Zhou glanced at Liu Na.
"I believe all of you came here because of the reputation. So do I. Unfortunately, I know a little about food." Yuan Zhou stood in front of Liu Na and started to explain.
"That's the dish I ordered. Of course, I've already paid for it. I've tasted the two abalones and the chef did a good job." Yuan Zhou pointed at the dining table near the window.
The customers in the restaurant all turned their heads subconsciously and found the ingredients on the table hadn't been touched at all. Then, they started to believe Yuan Zhou's words. The dishes here weren't cheap, but the dishes on the table were almost untouched.
"I forgot to take my phone just now, so I came back to get it." While saying that, he took up the phone in his hand and shook it.
"Then, I saw that gentleman arguing with Manager Liu and accidentally told the truth. That's what happened." Yuan Zhou made the cause of the matter clear in a few words.
Then, the man in a suit stood out and said, "That's right. Our family just returned from Canada. The abalones served by this lady said they were wild in Canada, but the taste wasn't right. So I argued with them for a while, but they didn't admit it at all."
"What's wrong with your restaurant? Are you trying to fool us with a fake one?"
"Exactly. Refund the money quickly."
"How could I be a regular customer of your restaurant? Is the previous one also fake?"
All of a sudden, the customers in the restaurant felt that they had been cheated and became agitated.
At that time, the waiter who went to invite the guests arrived with Manager Gou. Manager Gou was very young and looked to be no more than 30 years old. With a calm smile on his face, he came up and said, "Everybody, calm down."
After appeasing the customers in the restaurant, Manager Gou asked Yuan Zhou and the man in a suit with a smile on his face.
"Do you have any proof that the abalones served by our restaurant aren't wild?"
In this era, people were all particular about proof. Manager Gou really didn't believe that someone could know whether the abalones were wild or not just by eating them casually. It was hard to tell whether they were wild or not.
Seeing the two people remain silent, Manager Gou said in a gentlemanly manner, "I'm afraid it's not good for you to make wild guesses without any proof."
After that, he stopped targeting the two people and prepared to comfort the customers.
The man in a suit didn't say anything. It was indeed because he felt the taste was different. Seeing Liu Na's manner of affirming that she was wrong, he insisted. Indeed, he couldn't produce any proof or give any reason.
As for Yuan Zhou, he said, "…"
